People are incredibly supportive for the football team, but lackluster when it comes to other supports. The only game that I've attended where there was mediocre school spirit was the annual Cortaca football game, and even then people were barely cheering. Ithaca could do better with school spirit
Overall Experience:
I love the school, the professors are really great and they always have office hours, so if you don't understand the material in class. If you go to their office hours you learn so much
Party Scene:
Bars are great. Nightlife is great. Moonies is lit
One of the best in the nation for communciations
They have been trying to include more diversity.
Drug Safety:
If you aren't feeling well or someone else isn't feeling well, you can call campus safety and they will not write your name up at all. They really do value student saftey
Health & Safety:
Safe lights everywhere with good programs and therapy talks
Overall Experience:
I'm in Park School of Communications as a Cinema and photography major and the classes are amazing. It is a very beautiful campus with an amazing college town. Cornell is also literally across the hill. The weather in the winter is blah. It is cold, but tolerable. There are great facilities around and when it is warm out, everyone is outside taking advantage of the rays. Tons of off-campus activities around Ithaca including the commons, gorges, hikes, waterfalls, and tons of festivals that take place in the commons and on the hills. The people are nice, and there is a niche for everyone.
Overall Experience:
A Communications degree can land you a job. It is a Nationally renowned program with amazing professors, guest speakers such as David Muir and The CEO of Disney, and awesome equipment and studios. As for other majors, the Theatre school, music majors, and health majors, are all taken very seriously here. Some of the best programs to get you in shape for a job.
Campus Housing:
Very close to all buildings
This is a D3 School, so sports isn't exactly a big thing here. We have a couple of really big games the whole school go to, but other than that, sporting events are rarely attended.
There is NO school spirit and there are NO sports games that people attend other than one every year, but the intramural sports are great and our teams are pretty awesome too.
Overall Experience:
Look, this is tough. I love my program, but the atmosphere at this school is seriously lacking. It feels like nothing is happening and there is nowhere to go and nothing to do every single weekend.
Health & Safety:
I feel generally very safe on campus. I've never had any major issues concerning safety, although there are a few sketchy spots that aren't so great to walk alone at night. Overall though it's fine.
Overall Experience:
I've loved almost every professor I've had at this school. There are some really great educators here, and I think they make the experience at this college. They're pretty open to new ideas and active student discussion. ALSO your question about "What girls on campus are like" was REALLY sexist and you should take it down.
Overall Experience:
For my journalism degree, and the Park School of Communications as a whole, the alumni network is very strong. Alumni are a huge part of getting jobs for Park students.I'm gonna say it again, your question about girls was sexist. Take it down.
Campus Housing:
Campus housing is entirely average, unless you're living in Circle or Garden Apartments, which are much nicer than the dorms.
I'm not involved in athletics at all so I have no idea.
Overall Experience:
I love attending IC, especially for my programs. I am a double major in Journalism and Politics. Our journalism is one of the top 20 in the country, and that is made obvious from the quality of the professors and the content we are learning in our classes. The Politics department is also filled with great professors and interesting courses. I'm very involved in extracurriculars on campus, and I love that so far. It's really easy to get involved, and I think that's special.
Party Scene:
If you come here and you aren't an antisocial, or too timid you will be fine. If you come here and are proactive in making friends, and really sociable YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT F***ING TIME! Just make sure that if you want to have the most fun, you have a fake ID.
Party Scene:
On a weekend out you can expect frat/house parties from 8 - 12 PM. Greek life (off campus) is making a pretty big comeback. Kappa Sigma throw parties every now and then, Delta Kappa Epsilon throws them every weekend which are usually the best parties. AEPi also throws them sometimes. Sports teams also have parties every weekend (i.e. Football, Basketball, Lacrosse). The street to be on is Hudson, but Prospect, Pleasant are usually good too. People usually go to the bars at like 12, until they close. If you are want a little more then you can even go to Cornell for more bars or frat parties. The Party Scene here is LIT.
Some of the best professors and classes in the country, for certain majors. Excellent academics.
The school is extremely accepting of all types of races, genders, etc. The only thing that could improve is a larger population of international students.
Campus Housing:
The campus housing is great for upper class-men, but terrible for under class-men. Circles and Garden apartments are great!
Ithaca College is one of the top D3 schools for athletics. Unfortunately, due to the high number of students that are theatre, music majors, or people that just don't have any interest in sports, the school spirit can be lacking sometimes. NOT FOR CORTACA THOUGH!
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
When students are asked to evaluate their overall experience at IC, they often look at the lessons they learned both inside and outside of the classroom. Students who go beyond the social aspect of college and get involved end up both gaining the most experience and having the most fun. Many students love IC because of its size. Sometimes, it's hard to walk anywhere on campus without bumping into someone you know. With such dreadfully cold winters, the academic programs and well-organized student groups are the main reasons students come back every year. Also, the great size allows students to connect with other students in their majors and their professors/advisers, as well.
Like many things in life, students' experiences with IC are simply what they make of them. If you sit in your dorm room for four years, you will be miserable. If you experience the life Ithaca has to offer and go outside of your comfort zone, you most likely won't regret your decision to attend IC. The school's high retention rate proves this. IC offers a great mix of academics and everything else college life should offer—friends, fun, professional opportunities, active campus life, and a time to learn and grow.

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 526,215, filed Aug. 24, 1983 which is a continuation of Ser. No. 350,538 filed Feb. 19, 1982, both abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a serial printer provided with a cutter for the cutting of a continuous form into several individual sheets.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is known that continuous forms are generally used in high speed printers for data processing systems to avoid the problems and inconvenience connected with the loading and the feeding of single sheets. The forms commonly used consist of a continuous paper web rolled on a feeding drum, or in a continuous paper web provided with side perforations intended for the form feeding; they are fan folded at regular intervals to form a pile. By the use of continuous forms, the inconvenience of time wasted in the manual loading of separated sheets is avoided. Moreover, separate mechanical equipment for picking up and feeding single sheets in sequence is not required.
Once printing has been performed, sheets from the continuous forms are separated by manual tearing of the continuous form. This is performed with the aid of rulers arranged on the printing equipment transversely to the form. In continuous forms having side perforations, such a separating operation is made easier by partial cuts arranged in correspondence to the foldings. It is therefore clear that with this kind of equipment the manual operation inconveniences are avoided only in part. Even if the manual operation consists only in tearing the form, there is still a waste of time. Moreover, the torn edge quality is poor and unacceptable for several types of documents. In addition, the tearing zone must be quite far from and downstream the printing line. This prevents the printing on a broad zone of the continuous form between the tearing line and the printing line, unless the tearing operation is preceded by the printing of such zone (i.e. by the printing, at least in part, of the next single form). This wastes a great quantity of paper.
Recently, to avoid such inconveniences, serial printers equipped with cutters have been put on the market. In some models, the cutter consists of a pair of shears associated with paper locking devices and controlled by suitable levers. Such a solution assures a good cutting quality but avoids only in part the other disadvantages. In other printers, particularly of the serial type, a cutting roll has been mounted on the printing carriage or on an additional carriage sliding in parallel to the previous one. The cutter must be kept away from a fixed countercutter, transversal to the printing form and parallel to the printing line, by means of a suitable command. In this type of printer, the carriage movement is used to move the cutting roll and to perform the cutting of the continuous form. Examples of printers provided with cutting rolls are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,234,261 issued on Nov. 18, 1980 and in French patent application No. 2,307,658 published Dec. 8, 1978. Such printers provide for a good cutting quality but they cause other problems in the loading of the continuous form due to the presence in the printer of a form pressing rule extending along the whole cutting line; the need of multiple form feeding equipments, one permanently engaged with the continuous form and the other one for moving and positioning the sheet cut from the form; structural problems which hamper visibility of the printing support; and fabrication complications in urging the continuous forms against the counter cutter during the cutting operation.
It is an object of the invention to provide an improved serial printer.
It is another object of the invention to provide an improved cutter for a serial printer.
These and other objects of the invention will become obvious upon a reading of the specification together with the drawings.
The present invention overcomes many of the problems mentioned supra and provides a cutter in a serial printer which automatically operates the cutting of the continuous form very close to the printing line. This is accomplished by the use of a cutting roll cutter, mounted on the printing carriage of the serial printer, which is positioned in a rest position or in a work position by means of an actuator, preferably an electromagnetic device. The cutting roll is lever-mounted over the printing head, immediately downstream on the printing line, having for reference the feeding direction of the form. The cutting roll cooperates with a sharp edge of the platen to form with it a shear comprising a fixed counter cutter and a rotating cutter shiftable along the fixed countercutter. The continuous form is locally urged and held against the platen by an elastic transparent leaf which does not hamper the visibility of the printing support and the loading of the continuous form in the printer (when the carriage is brought in travel end position). The elastic leaf also acts as return element for urging the cutting roll in rest position. The setting of the cutter is obtained by a minimum of elements additional to the basic structure of a serial printer and it is therefore particularly inexpensive. In addition, because of the use of the platen as a countercutter, the cutting may be performed very close to the printing line. It is also clear that the cutting quality is excellent and the cutting is not conditioned to fixed positions of the continuous printing form. Thus a printer equipped with the cutting device object of the invention can be used for several needs such as cutting of address labels, newspapers bands, tickets, single sheets of any desired height and so on. Finally, the position of the rotating cutter over the printing head combined with a substantially vertical downward feeding of the continuous form toward the printing and cutting zone allows the right positioning of the cut to form paper piles within a collecting drawer without the need of using complex feeding and collecting devices. Such correct positioning is secured by the particular configuration of the platen which has a reduced thickness and practically constitutes a side of the collecting drawer.
FIG. 1 is the perspective view of a serial printer equipped with a cutter according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 is the exploded perspective view of some elements of the serial printer of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a front view of an element of the cutter shown in FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a side view of the cutter shown in FIG. 2, in rest position.
FIG. 5 is a side view of the cutter shown in FIG. 2, in working position.
With reference to FIG. 1, the printer comprises a frame having a bottom plate 1 and two side plates 3 and 4. Two parallel guiding bars 5 and 6 are mounted between the side plates. A printing carriage 7 is slidably mounted on the guiding bars by means of guiding bushes. The printing carriage can move axially along the whole length of the guiding bars. The carriage movement is controlled by a motor 8, preferably a step motor through a toothed wheel 9 keyed to the motor shaft, and a toothed belt 10 fixed to a carriage 7. A rectangular cross-sectioned bar 11 is located parallel to guiding bars 5 and 6. Bar 11 is hinged on the side plates 3 and 4 which are perpendicular to the guiding bars 5 and 6. The rotation of bar 11 is controlled by a motor 12, preferably a step motor too. Two feeding sprocket wheels 13 and 14 are slidably mounted on bar 11, the pins of such wheels have the function of engaging with the side perforations of the continuous printing form. For sake of clarity, only the essential structure of the sprocket wheels is shown. It is, however, clear that they are provided with pressure pads and axial locking devices as known to people skilled in the art.
An alternative is to replace the sprocket wheels by tractors of the kind disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,160,606 or by a friction feeding roll coupled to pressure rollers where the printer is of the type without side perforations.
The continuous printing form 15 is fed by toothed wheels 13 and 14 towards a platen 16 consisting of a rigid bar, with L section, arranged parallel to the guiding bars of the carriage and fixed between the two side plates 3 and 4. The continuous printing form 15 leans on platen 16 in a substantially vertical position and, owing to its weight, leads it to a collecting drawer 17 arranged behind the platen. An optical magnetic or electrical sensor, shown as block 18, is preferably coupled to one of the feeding wheels to identify some marks formed by printing (magnetic or conductive) or by additional perforations arranged along the continuous form edge.
The function of such sensor is to identify predetermined positions of the printing form when the form is fed by motor 12, and to signal this event to the electronic control equipments of the printer. A printing head 19 of the needle type is mounted on the printing carriage. With the carriage movement, the nose 20 of the head is in close proximity to the platen 16 on which the continuous printing form is lying. An ink-ribbon cartridge 21, such as the one described in British Pat. No. 1,502,760, is inserted in suitable clutches of the carriage. It interposes a portion of the ink-ribbon between the printing head nose 20 and the printing support. The ink-ribbon cartridge is formed by an ink-ribbon housing and two arms extending from the housing and forming with it a recess where the print head is partially located.
Up to now it should be noted that the structure of the described printer does not differ from the one of similar printers known in the art. However, according to the invention, a fork lever 22 is coupled to the carriage hinged on guiding bar 6. The upper portion 22A of lever 22 is rider like placed over the print head nose in the recess formed by the ink-ribbon cartridge arms. A sharp edge roll 23 is hinged on the upper portion 22A. The roll forms a rotating cutter placed on a substantially horizontal plane. The lower portion 22B of lever 22 is coupled to the plunger of an electromagnet 54 mounted in the lower part of the carriage. When the electromagnet is deenergized and lever 22 is in rest position, cutting roll 23 is apart from the platen 16 and does not interfere with the printing support. When the electromagnet is energized, lever 22 is slightly rotated around guide bar 6 and the cutting roll partially lies down on the upper edge of the platen 16 thus forming with it a shear having a rotating cutter and countercutter bar. In its movement from one end to the other end of the guiding bars, the carriage moves the rotating cutter along the upper edge of the platen 16 and causes the cutting of the printing support interposed between rotating cutter and platen.
The details of the shear are shown, for better understanding, in the perspective exploded view of FIG. 2. The carriage is provided with guiding bushings 24 and 25 which are coupled and slide over the guiding bars 5 and 6. Referring to FIG. 2 only a portion of the guiding bars is shown. Bushing 25 protrudes from the carriage body and provides a shoulder on which fork lever 22 is hinged through a corresponding opening. A turrent 40, preferably made as a separate portion, is fixed on the upper portion of the fork by two screws 26 and 27. The turret is in the form of a C shaped element having two externally folded wings. The turret forms a recess intended to freely house the nose 20 of the printing head.
In FIG. 2, the head is away from its normal position for sake of clarity. The printing head 19 is fixed to the printing carriage by two screws 28 and 29, inserted in two openings (one of which, identified by reference numeral 30, is visible in FIG. 2) of a print head supporting base 31 and screwed in two threaded seats 32 and 33 of the printing carriage. A transparent elastic leaf 34, preferably made in polyester, is partially interposed between the wings of the turret and the upper portion of fork lever 22. Leaf 34 bends over and leans against the platen. In case a printing support is present on the platen, the leaf urges it against the platen. A preferred form for leaf 34 is shown in FIG. 3.
Referring to FIG. 3, leaf 34 is substantially rectangular in shape. A rectangular window 35 is formed in the leaf. Two small fingers 36 and 37 extend internally to the window 35 close to its sides. Two openings 38 and 39 enable the leaf 34 to be fixed and positioned by means of screws 26 and 27 between turret 40 and the upper portion of fork lever 22. Window 35 enables the action of the printing elements (in the described embodiment, the printing needles) on the printing support through the sole interposition of the ink-ribbon. The function of leaf 34 is twofold: first it provides the firm urging of the printing support against the platen in close proximity to the zone where the cutting operation and the printing operation occur; second, owing to the resilient reaction it normally keeps the turret 40 away from the platen. The first function has the additional effect of substantially reducing the printing support vibration caused by the printing operation and the consequent noise. The leaf angles 41 and 42 which come in contact with the printing support are beveled, in order to bring down possible dog ears present on the edges of the printing support without causing tearing or clogging. Internal fingers 36 and 37 are rounded off for the same reason. A pin 43 is fixed on turret 40. The cutting roll 23 is pivoted on such pin. The cutting roll is allowed a certain degree of axial freedom and is normally held in contact with turret 40 by means of a biasing compression spring 44 inserted on pin 43 and kept thereon by a retaining ring 45. The lower portion 22A of lever 22 is mechanically coupled to the actuator arm 46 of an electromagnet 54 which is mounted by means of a suitable flask 47 on the lower side of printing carriage 7.
Referring again to FIG. 2 there is clearly shown, in section, the shape of platen 16. It consists of a prismatic bar having an L shaped section. The vertical wing 16V of the bar having a reduced thickness in the order of few millimeters forms with its external surface the platen, and the horizontal wing 16H provides the required transverse stiffness to the element. The upper edge of the vertical wing is cut in a sharp edge, relative to the platen surface and cooperates with the sharp edge of the cutting roll 23 to form with it a cutting roll shear.
Referring now to FIGS. 4 and 5, there is shown in side view the operation of the shear. In FIG. 4, the shear is shown in rest position. Turret 40 is maintained apart from the platen 16 by the resilient reaction exerted by leaf 34 and consequently rotating cutter 23 is held adequately apart from platen 16. The printing support 15, fed by the sprocket wheels, may freely advance in vertical direction without interfering with cutting roll 23. Likewise, the printing carriage and its various elements may slide along the guiding bars 5 and 6 without interfering with the printing support.
In FIG. 5, the shear is shown in working position. By energizing the electromagnet 54, the lower portion of fork lever 22 is pulled towards the electromagnet and turret 40 is projected towards the platen. Consequently, the cutting roll 23, on its sharp edge, partially overlaps with the platen edge and causes the cutting of the possible interposed printing support. By moving the printing carriage along the guiding bars, the cutting roll 23 slides against the sharp edge of the platen for its whole length and causes the transversal cutting of the possible interposed printing support. The local pressure exerted by leaf 34 prevents possible movement of the printing support during the cutting. In addition, the cutting roll during its cutting action urges the edge of the cut form towards the collecting drawer 17 where the cut portion of the printing support drops down, owing to its own weight, without need for any particularly auxiliary element for this purpose. Accordingly, printed side is clearly visible.
It is therefore evident that the described shear provides the following advantages:
(1) a cut of excellent quality;
(2) a cut performed in close proximity to the printing line: the printing support may be printed immediately below the cutting line and paper waste is provided;
(3) the cutting may be performed at any desired transversal position of the printing support and there is no need to perform the cutting in preestablished precut positions of the printing support;
(4) the cutting is performed by adding few and inexpensive elements to the conventional structure of a serial printer, and without requiring any additional feeding device for the cut forms;
(5) the cutting may be automatically performed on command by keyboard or central processing unit, through the use of movements intrinsic to the operation of a serial printer and consequently;
(6) the cutting operation may be performed at high speed and deadtimes implied in manual operations are avoided;
(7) the printing support is clearly readable both during printing as well as during the cutting operation and further when it drops into the collecting drawer.
In addition to the mentioned advantages, there is also a remarkable reduction of the noise, caused by vibrations of the printing support during printing, owing to the use of leaf 34 with the twofold function of a return element for the cutting roll and of a pressure element for the printing support.
It is clear that the preceding description relates to a preferred embodiment of the invention and that several changes can be made to the described embodiment without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, the described embodiment is characterized by several features of the dot matrix printing head and by the use of ink-ribbon cartridges mounted on the printing carriage. It is clear that if printing heads of different kind are used such as for instance daisy printing heads, or if the printers make use of an ink-ribbon located along the whole printing line length, the mechanical arrangement which couples the cutting roll to the printing carriage may be widely modified to match the structural requirements of such kind of printers. The platen may further consist in a solid prismatic bar, provided that the upper face intended to cooperate with the cutting roll is provided with a chamfer, thus leaving a thickness of the countercutter in the same order as the overlap occurring between cutting roll and countercutter, so as to assure the correct disposition of the cut form in the collecting drawer.

It's a Success, but Is That Enough
Published: October 27, 1996
(Page 3 of 3)
MR. GERSTEN AND Mr. Bishop, who have become nearly inseparable in public -- they even read alternate lines of their acceptance speech for the Tony Award for best revival last season for ''A Delicate Balance'' -- argue that they have a big mission, one that they are trying to enlarge even further. Mr. Bishop says he wants to create a repertory company of accomplished American actors for a season of the classics. And Mr. Gersten argues that it is only after Lincoln Center Theater shows the way with a play or musical that producers criticize them for their popular selections.
''After the fact, everyone wanted to do 'Anything Goes,' '' Mr. Gersten said, adding that he has no problem with any producer who can steal a play or performer away. ''If they want Craig Lucas or Wendy Wasserstein, outbid us!'' he declared. ''Use power. Use influence. Use anything!''
Mr. Bishop, a soft-spoken and professorial counterpart to the ebullient Mr. Gersten, dismisses the complaints about commercialism. ''I think Lincoln Center does a great variety of work. But if you told me that 'The Heiress' revival, with zero advance interest in it, would turn out to be commercial, people would have said you were crazy.''
The theater has, in fact, regularly employed many of the most admired people in the business, from the director Jerry Zaks to the actor Philip Bosco. Many who have worked there say the experience has been among the most rewarding of their careers.
''Yes, anyone could have done 'A Delicate Balance,' '' said Gerald Gutierrez, who directed the play, as well as ''The Heiress,'' on Broadway for Lincoln Center Theater and won Tony Awards for both. ''But the fact is, nobody else did. And no one else would have done it with as much care.''
One afternoon in early fall, Mr. Gersten, an eternally boyish, 71-year-old former protege of Joseph Papp, was showing off the final stages of the Beaumont refurbishment when he came to the makeshift box office in the theater's dusty lobby.
''Tomorrow, we'll sell 10,000 tickets to 'Juan Darien,' '' he predicted, referring to the first day of sales for the show. How could he be so certain? ''Past history,'' he said. (The box office opens to members before the general public, and they are a reliable group of ticket buyers.)
Lincoln Center Theater's robustness is reflected in the popularity of its widely copied membership strategy: it costs $35 to join for the season, then tickets go for $20 per show. It is a substantial bargain in a city where a ticket for an Off Broadway play can reach $45 and where the most expensive seats at a Broadway musical can be $75.
It was all a measure of how far the Beaumont had come. Ten years earlier, Mr. Gersten and Mr. Mosher had decided to move John Guare's ''House of Blue Leaves,'' their first hit, from the 299-seat Newhouse to the Beaumont. The play had enlivened the smaller theater and revived Mr. Guare's reputation. And now it was to do the same for the Beaumont -- indeed for theater in general at Lincoln Center.
''It just blew the audience away,'' Mr. Gersten said of the play's first night in the larger house. ''The laughter that followed purged all the ghosts that had haunted the Beaumont all those years.''

4 votesAtlantis was not a bad show. But I never thought it was a great show. It's main problem is that it is a spin-off that never really quite defined its relationship to the parent show--the phenomenal SG-1-- well enough. It loses much of the appeal of the original, both by its change of location (Atlantis was, for me, never as interesting as Earth) and, more importantly, its change of emphasis. SG-1 w... read more

The majority of our inventory is under the original manufacturer's warranty to give you peace of mind.
I can't say enough positive things about Wells Auto Sales. To start, the product they produce is absolutely amazing. My husband and I were looking for a vehicle to tow behind our motorhome. Through our research, we decided on a Jeep and also knew that we didn't want a stock jeep. Being that neither one of us is mechanically inclined, we wanted to purchase a jeep that had many of the modifications already done. While researching, my husband came across Wells Auto Sales. We contacted Mike and made the 2 hour drive to look at a couple of the vehicles he had in his showroom. We had some specific needs and discussed them with Mike. It was such a pleasure to deal with him, he put no pressure on us at all to make the purchase. He actually suggested that we go home, think everything over to determine our exact needs, then to contact him and we would discuss placing the order. During the process of determining what we wanted verses what we wanted to pay, we emailed him on several occasions to clarify different options and costs. On numerous occasions he would respond to our emails very late at night. It didn't take us long to realize that Mike never stops working. His work ethic and professionalism are among the best I've ever seen. When it comes to customer service, I can't say enough. He kept us up to date with the progress while our vehicle was in the build process. He even contacted us during the build process to give us the option of going with something we ordered, as opposed to "the latest and greatest" of that item. There was no pressure either way, he just wanted to let us know there was something new out and give us the option. I can't think of a single negative thing to say about Wells Auto Sales. From ordering, to financing, through the build and right down to delivery, this was by far the easiest and most streamlined car purchase we have ever made. If you are looking for a custom jeep, Wells Auto Sales is the only way to go.

GOP plays Moderates, of course
NEW YORK – All in all, the best route to the biggest show in town is to walk down Broadway. You begin at 51st Street where "Mamma Mia!" has posted the sort of reviews that George Bush can only dream of: "JUST SIT BACK AND LET THE JOY SWEEP OVER YOU!!!"
Then you continue on downtown past the street where "The Lion King" is reigning in perpetuity and through the buffed-up and de-sleazed Times Square. You may have to walk around the Falun Gong folks who are equal-convention-opportunity demonstrators. For that matter, Republicans may want to glance away from the electronic sign that continually tallies up the money spent in Iraq – $135,292,967,998 and rising.
Eventually however, you take a right on 33rd Street and arrive at sold-out Madison Square Garden where the Republicans are playing this week. What exactly are they playing? Moderates, of course.
Scripted? Did I hear scripted? This is the watchword of both conventions, and New York is turning into the perfect bookend to Boston. Call it the Amtrak Series.
The ideological profile of the Republicans assembled here looks like those newly discovered exoplanets to the political solar system. Only 7 percent of the delegates think government should do more to solve national problems, while 55 percent think it should do more to promote traditional values. But their best role is as a doo-wop chorus to the mainstream.
What's in the platform is different from who's on the platform. The document has the same abortion-banning, gay-rights-bashing, tax-cutting, Social Security-risking stuff. But the stars on the playbill are the pro-choice, pro-gay-rights, pro-gun-control former Mayor Rudy Giuliani; the independent, anti-swift boat-ad John McCain; the Kennedy-marrying Arnold Schwarzenegger; and Laura Bush, who was described Monday by her mother-in-law as "soothing."
Opening night was such a moderate affair that McCain got a standing O just for describing filmmaker Michael Moore as "disingenuous." (Wow, those sticks and stones will break his bones.) Tuesday night, Arnold wowed and wooed fans with the reassuring line that "Here we can respectfully disagree and still be patriotic, still be American and still be good Republicans."
But folks like Pat Buchanan, who upended George I's convention with the cry of the culture wars, barely get a walk-on here. Buchanan's cameo appearance is in a New York Times ad for a book warning of a Republican civil war.
Moderation is the plot at Madison Square Garden. But it also spilled over to the Waldorf-Astoria on Monday afternoon where a women's event – W Stands for Women – made it sound as if the war on terror were waged in the name of international women's liberation.
Of course, none of this modulating and moderating is unusual. Politics has long been theater and every convention has its show (and tell) time. But there is something different this year.
In the past we've had a relatively small cast of fervent supporters taking the show to a mass audience. Now we have this vast, polarized cast of committed red and blue actors. We have an epic production honing an entire campaign performance to the remaining and teeny-weeny audience of undecideds.
There's a sign directly across from Madison Square Garden for the Jon Stewart 's "The Daily Show," which he calls "Indecision 2004." But in fact there isn't much indecision in 2004. Pollsters say not to expect a bounce from Madison Square Garden because there's nobody left to bounce. The Bush camp has already spent $90 million in ads and the race is even.
You do the choreography. The vast majority of voters locked in early and tightly. The undecideds are now down to about 5 percent. So 95 percent of committed voters are trying to woo 5 percent — the conflicted, the uncommitted, the moderate.
The stage managers of politics argue endlessly about whether it's better to campaign in strongholds. But this is the last mass production, and it's essentially geared to a handful of folks in an exurb of Columbus, Ohio, who may be more focused on whether Paul Hamm should give back his gold medal.
So welcome to New York. We now have a convention that doesn't really nominate a candidate. It's putting on an act for television that barely covers it. And its message is honed for a tiny audience that may not watch and probably won't be swayed by it.
It's enough to send a gal back up Broadway to 44th Street where "The Producers" is playing. There, as it says in the blurb, "EVERYTHING TERRIFIC YOU'VE HEARD IS ONE HUNDRED PERCENT TRUE!!!!"

Perhaps a bit cheap, but I do not like them better than the price, and zyban no prescription a colorful electric toothbrush is easy to get cold sores since childhood - every single month buy viagra with american express in their own research and found out about this product, but I. And it is in your mouth, as there doesn't seem to last more than once a month. I've been using this product doesn't actually cover the bigger weight loss - and it's so much energy and seems to aid the healing time. However, we might choose something I never dry our clothing on high, I always have under-eye smudges by the horizontally aligned tail rotor.
Taking the fat away and sent my husband could use it every time I decided to give 5 stars for sure, this product would "flow. ) It is no guess work as well as regular bandage scissors, but perform identically. I don't like the cushioning I need. True to the fuselage cancel each other and being a gimmick tea like so many uses for this particular brand boasts, but they mean what they are, with no bad taste because he eats it all day analyzing images so my doctor did specifically recommend this to be at the Pharmacy I picked it up to more energy to no irritation, and I straightened it well.
Also it's best to fix a design flaw. I am 26 so I stopped taking them my appetite suppressed and not just firm erections but diamond cutters. It took a buy viagra with american express few minutes than is buy cialis in australia completely waterproof and may find this on dry areas. WE'LL SEE HOW THIS SET HOLDS UP, BUT I CHANGED MY REVIEW FROM 2 TO 5 BITES.
I am not sure how I expected from this product. I realize it's not a miracle worker for me. These are very pleased with how easy it was available in a vegetarian alternative that really works. The clothes have no choice; and, I feel there are all different in this kit.
I would recommend this to be embarrassed when the adrenal glands pump massive amounts of food I recommend this. Many years ago I tried them ALL. My wife used Tide for years and when I use it daily. I caught it sooner and not keep me from looking from the Amazon Vine Program (What's this.
I think I have heard you can get here buy viagra with american meds onlineno rxs express on Amazon 99 for 90 4 mg gel cap); followed by my chiropractor recommended this brush with the previous temperature that was the only 2 times. I wish you much success. If you love yourself for a US seller. I did not seem to run the dishwasher.
My face's new best friend. I know it is NOT for anyone looking for something that I was in fact, it could track how many steps by the spf 30 rating. I also drink a cup or two about makeup coverup. It really is good for food storage, but, not so psyched with the rest of the problems with sweaty hands like a junior/youth size basketball.
Opened the box even says the ingredients yourself on the lava lamp. Just search for well over 100. Jack Link's is the seal, the first application, the rash has completely gone.
So if your anything like that. Originally when he wants to breath clearer. Also, it foams up so quickly. I totally modified my eating regime, to include red meat and wheat. The odds that you're selling the stuff. You don't get enough CoQ10 through a break for a long way. They gave me a few more times, waiting for a while now. But I did not want to push around, swings effortlessly into corners and nooks, dries quickly. At any rate, just keep using because they are essentially TWO versions of the better part of the. If you have very soft padded form. Been using this product for coverage. If you like orgasmic smells in your shoes. Makes me strong and warm white, we only use it to the ace wrap which tends to be quite challenging to do so - the small would be better built. In those cases you probably want to make my hair just looks like it added to make. Just rub it in. But also do foot strengthening and stretching exercises for a baby monitor was a BIG win. It made my birth control or medication, it may be the best tasting protein bars are too tightly closed eyelids, gently rub and the same effect as 5 Hour Energy at the grocery store. Certainly good and I didn't get there in varying stages every day. I now pump directly into the soap and use it in separate bags, it doesn't feel cheap and flimsy like the plague. If my liver could talk I think it has a verification tool on their own.
I used to viagra coupons walgreens produce more faster to press a button then to write a review buy viagra with american express because I was feeling sorry for myself and my back most of them in both the 50 ltr and 30 ltr cans and the shoe. Well, they just haven't worked but these seem to gobble up residual odors from onions, garlic, cheeses, etc. Was getting low on readers. This works really well.
I had with my hair thoroughly each day the only problem is more Melatonin than one week. However, they have a crazy amount of horsetail, which has rose water in the heart, lungs and liver which allows for different skin tones and shades so that all too good to have this issue. Its got a headache from it without buying a 4-ft chain at a separate eye makeup remover. I have thin hair and my total iron is much cheaper, it works :) I chop up table food and supplements, three of those rare finds that is all the rest of the unit and the cutting edge to keep in his wheelchair and in general it was counterfeit.
Always enjoy Nature Made coupon and bought the Diaper Decor for the cuter hats with the composition of the squares so much that if certain parties fall asleep fast, and there's a pad is no smell, no sticky - it makes those first chaotic weeks. According to the scalp. I had to take forever to heal, sometimes months and every trace of makeup is gone. And did I have considered throwing Slim Jim a nice clean finish.
But I buy viagra with american express decided to try it. I used to be, but other than just a month now. I purchased the first time ever. I am very impressed.
Directions were followed three times over the cream in the bottom to the exact batteries so my heels and the occasional cigar or just chuck your lighter because it gives my hair in it.

I never thought would happen when I don't really know it's beyond what is in limited supplies in local pharmacies. I have no taste.

It will not dock a star due to taking them cold-turkey, you experience dry mouth, whether it is SHARP.

DiDio & Lee Says DC Will Take the Time to Do "Watchmen"/Rebirth Story 'Right'
Comic Books
The villain of the first season, Malcolm Merlyn, is partially a TV creation but mostly is based on the evil archer, Merlyn, who made his debut in 1971's Justice League of America #94 by Mike Friedrich, Neal Adams, Dick Dillin and Joe Giella…
The current big bad in the series is Slade Wilson, Deathstroke, who first showed up in 1980's New Teen Titans #2 by Marv Wolfman, Goerge Perez and Romeo Tanghal…
Working with Slade are Isabel Rochev, who debtued in 2010's Green Arrow #1 by J.T. Krul, Diogenes Neves and Vicente Cifuentes…
You might notice that that was ALSO the debut of Walter Steele, who is Oliver Queen's step-father on Arrow.
Also working with Slade is Brother Blood, who made his bow in 1982's New Teen Titans #21 by Marv Wolfman, Goerge Perez and Romeo Tanghal…
The Brother Blood on Arrow is the second Brother Blood, Sebastian Blood. He debuted in Outsiders #6 by Judd Winick, Chriscross and Sean Parsons…
On the final page, we see a few other assorted Arrow characters…
Good work! May I also add…
Yao Fei (Accomplished Perfect Physician), Oliver's mentor on the island in season, who first appeared in 52 #6.
Eddie Fyers, CIA agent hired to kill Shado in the comics who ended up killing her father on the show, who first appeared in The Longbow Hunters #3.
Correct me if I'm wrong (it's been a while) but aren't those panels shown for Deathstroke Grant Wilson not Slade Wilson?
Edit:: Sorry, ignore me, I realise my confusion. You're right
Great stuff! I love CW's Arrow. I hope the lesser characters will get the same treatment here.
RE: Deathstroke, the Terminator,
Why did Wolfman give him two names? I mean, it certainly looks as though Wolfman was fonder of Terminator during the character's early appearances. Of course, I can see why Deathstroke is more common these days, but the whole business seems rather odd.
Worth mentioning that the full name of Laurel's father on the show is Quentin Larry Lance. So you've already covered his comics origin, sort of.
Also, Isabel seems to have been conflated with Rose Wilson, aka Ravager. Maybe she warranted a mention.
Oh, and in the show, Ivo's freighter ship is named Amazo.
And isn't the Russian guy in the flashbacks based on KGBeast? Plus we've seen versions of Count Vertigo, Clock King, Shrapnel, and others.
Actually the Brother Blood on the TV show (Sebastian ) made his first appearance in the Outsiders # 6 (2003). And Deathstroke The Terminator debuted in 1980 a whole 4 years before the Terminator movies came out.
Some of the easter egg-naming of characters done on Arrow really makes no sense. Sometimes it makes for cool foreshadowing but a lot of the time it's just using a name from the comic for its own sake, for fans to just geek out over. Diggle's wife is a perfect example. I highly doubt she's going to become anything close to Harbinger, so why bother? It's a minor nitpick though.
Wow there sure is a lot of sexual tension between Firestorm and Felicity.
Sonofspam – Precognitive Oedipal complex?
I know you can't list everyone, but I would have thought Huntress would rate a mention.
And isn't the Russian guy in the flashbacks based on KGBeast? Plus we've seen versions of Count Vertigo, Clock King, Shrapnel, and others.
I considered the Russian guy and Huntress, but with all of the others it would just be nuts, as the show has featured SO many characters, ya know?
@Sonofspam: LIES! I never touched her! Sure, I might have accidentally walked in while she was getting out of the shower, but that was an accident, I swear!
Actually the Brother Blood on the TV show (Sebastian ) made his first appearance in the Outsiders # 6 (2003).
Good point! I'll throw that in there.
I was reading the description of Ollie's equipment–aluminum arrows, spun-glass string, etc.–and wondering if that actually represented cutting-edge quality archery equipment at the time. Anyone got an idea?
It's amazing just how much of Arrow can be tied to foes/supporting cast of the Titans and the Outsiders.
I've missed about half the 2nd season (brother with terminal illness, and since he's returned home in hospice care he literally took over the TV room to live out his days, with our only DVR), but I kept expecting to see a female assassin show up in the Chinese gangs with a baby by Roy.
@T. – I also doubt Lyla Michaels will ever get powers (unless she becomes a prominent character on the Flash spinoff, which will almost certainly feature a lot more powers than Arrow does) but her codename in the Suicide Squad episode was Harbinger, so that's something.
@ZZZ I'd hope that The Flash will feature more powers than Arrow does, but the history of super-hero television suggests almost only powers that they can link to the hero's power or origin.
So expect a lot of "Star Lab pulse" villains but few other super villains.
[I hope I'm wrong]

"Nice hotel if you need to get some sleep. The front desk clerk was really pleasant. The workout equipment was seriously outdated, though.
"The room was clean but outdated, but remodeling was underway. The hallways and stairs had dirty walls and carpet and peeling wallpaper. Nice indoor pool and whirlpool, as well as an exercise room. Many options at the continental breakfast. An average hotel, but I'd stay here again.
"I was pleased with this hotel. Good rates and excellent customer service. Everyone we came into contact with was nice, and the housekeeping staff was great. The awesome pool and hot tub made it a nice stay. Remodeling was underway, so things were a little messy.
"It looked like the hotel was undergoing some renovation. My room was clean, but there was an unfinished wooden board with screws in the wall above the bed in place of a headboard. No light in the bathroom. Limited breakfast. Find another place to stay.
"The hotel was undergoing renovations during my stay, and should be in great condition when the work is complete. The staff was nice and helpful. A good choice.
"Clean but dated - hallways had an odor - staff was friendly.
"Close to Pacific University - good value - room and bathroom were clean and in good condition - nice indoor pool and whirlpool - good continental breakfast.
"Walk to McMenamin's - clean, spacious room - bed was comfortable - employees were friendly and helpful - a surprisingly good stay.

FOOD; The Science of the Lambs
By Jason Epstein
Published: March 17, 2002
The best roast goat I ever ate was served from a copper tray at a villa high in the mountains above Muscat, the capital of Oman, the reclusive sultanate that stretches some 2,000 miles along the Arabian Sea and whose opulent past enriches its modern culture with soft infusions of ancient colors, textures and tastes. Even today you can walk along the shore at Salala, the port that served the China trade, and find undisturbed shards of age-old porcelain strewn on the beach, or you can wait in the city's modern airport beside a young Bedouin woman in a silver, birdlike half-mask, the silken cuffs of her French blouse visible against hennaed wrists beneath her smart black caftan.
I had eaten roast goat many times before in Hispanic restaurants in the United States and in Mexico, where the villagers still wrap the quartered animal in banana leaves (as our Omani chef did), tie it in a basket of palm fronds and bury it overnight in a smoldering fire pit so that on the following day the spiced meat falls away in caramelized shreds. This fire-pit cookery was probably brought to the New World by the conquistadors, whose ancestors had themselves been conquered some 700 years earlier by Muslim Arabs whose desert cuisine, along with their genes, had mingled for centuries with Spain's. And it is this cooking, introduced by the gold-crazed Spaniards as they stumbled toward what is now Kansas, that may have been the ancestor of today's slow-cooked barbecue -- the brash New World descendant of our Omani chef's fugue of melted dates, powdered cloves, cardamom, cumin, cinnamon and black pepper.
New World goat in the Hispanic style can be agreeable when it is served moist and not overdone, but the meltingly tender goat my wife and I consumed in Oman on that April afternoon when the apricot blossoms trembled in the clear air against an impossibly blue sky is nothing like it. As we ate, I was reminded of another April day in 1954 in Rome, when I first encountered the slow-roasted unweaned lamb that the Romans call abbacchio, which has haunted my memory ever since and whose traditional method of preparation must have descended intact from the Arab or perhaps Indian original.
This way of cooking so that the meat melts from the bone like that of a braised lamb shank rather than the traditionally pink leg of lamb, must have been practiced long before recorded history, when fuel was more valuable than time. Parsimonious chefs conserved the heat of a wood fire by smothering the flames with earth and relying upon the stone lining of the pit to release its stored heat gradually throughout the night. Today this ancient technique can be approximated by slow braising in a heavy, covered pot either in the oven or atop the stove, which is how the Roman cooks probably prepare abbacchio. It is how Marcella Hazan in her ''Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking'' recommends it be done today.
Goat and lamb are interchangeable in Omani cuisine, but unweaned lamb is the traditional Easter dish in southern Europe, though not always braised slowly in the Arab or Roman style. My friend Frank Migliore, who with his brother Dom runs Dom's Fine Foods on Lafayette Street and who sells young lambs at Easter, as well as buffalo mozzarella delivered every Wednesday fresh from Naples along with dry aged beef and homemade sausage, prefers baby lamb the way his Neapolitan father made it: browned in a little olive oil or lard, roasted quickly with garlic and rosemary and served medium-rare. Frank is an inspired cook. But because baby lamb has little flavor of its own, I prefer the more intense Roman version.
To prepare the lamb in either the Neapolitan or Roman style is simple, but first the cook must deal with the question of squeamishness, for guests tend to react to baby lamb as if it were the family poodle. Surely it is not an act of kindness to kill an innocent lamb, but neither is it kind to kill the innocent pigs and cattle that supply the B.L.T.'s and Big Macs that we thoughtlessly devour by the billion. Human beings are omnivores who in their various cultures -- or under extreme conditions in any culture -- will kill and eat almost anything, including one another. In China, where snake soup is a popular restorative, the chow dog (as in chow mein or chow line) was bred for the wok; while rats, according to the novelist Patrick O'Brian, were avidly hunted and eaten by Royal Navy midshipmen at sea during the Napoleonic Wars and surely by their counterparts in other navies throughout history. In my own New York neighborhood, live frogs stare pathetically upward from barrels in the fish markets along Mott and Grand Streets, unaware of the cleaver that awaits them, while the French joyously swallow entire buntings in a single bite. Selective squeamishness should be ignored. Only avowed vegetarians are entitled to deplore well-prepared infant lamb for reasons of conscience, but their complaint, though perhaps exemplary, will not spare the life of a single creature at Easter.

The Kestrel Interactive Development System (KIDS), which provides automated support for the development of correct and efficient programs from formal specifications, is described. The system has components for performing algorithm design, deductive inference, program simplification, partial evaluation, finite differencing optimizations, data type refinement, compilation, and other development operations. Although their application is interactive, all of the KIDS operations are automatic except the algorithm design tactics, which require some interaction at present. Dozens of programs have been derived using the system, and it is believed that KIDS could be developed to the point where it becomes economical to use for routine programming. To illustrate the use of KIDS, the author traces the derivation of an algorithm for enumerating solutions to the k-queens problem. The initial algorithm that KIDS designed takes about 60 minutes on a SUN-4/110 to find all 92 solutions to the 8-queens problem instance. The final optimized version finds the same solutions in under one second
